I came from Spotify that already has this feature for a long time, and I miss it.
I like to control the music of the pc using my cell phone, and it would be great if Deezer had this option.
thanks.

Is there an possibility to connect Deezer to home network via Wi-Fi? Connecting phone to my home system via BT, program becomes lagy… Skipping song forward or pressing to next song, action takes few seconds. If you take phone few steps away, music plays with interrupts. I’m using iOS and Windows desktop programs. 

All home systems is on same network. Receiver Marantz SR7012

New customer here.

First thing I did is upvote this feature request.

Coming from Spotify, I am spoiled now, because in my apartment,  I have an AV Receiver with build-in Spotify Connect and don’t need any streaming device connected to it.

I could live with controlling one device that is connected to it, e.g. my XBox or Firestick. But no remote control at all is a bummer for me.

Hi! At home I have a Yamaha audio system which has connectivity with different protocols (i.e. Airplay); they provide a platform called MusicCast to connect all compatible devices and platforms and play music, in which they include Deezer. However, the latency and restrictions of MusicCast makes it a little uncomfortable to use (which is independent of Deezer, of course); but, having the option to connect to Deezer from their app, and even in device’s firmware, I’d think that the road is partially set to make more things between Deezer and Yamaha.

In the other hand, I just found that Spotify has a playback button that let you connect directly with the audio system and control your music more comfortably, without using MusicCast as intermediary. I think it may be a good idea to improve this connection between devices and Deezer in order to make it more attractive for current users :)

If you need screenshots from spotify - watch spoiler.

Connect is spotify`s killer feature. I'm listening to a song on my computer and I can control the playback with my phone. 

I like deezer but it’ll be much better with this feature.

Just moved from Spotify and like many others, gutted that I can’t control sonos from the Deezer app.
